I'm sure there are errors. The House Heroes review came really last minute, so I had to rush things in order to get this online tonight. Lots of reviews. Lots of beef. Enjoy.

Great issue as always. The cover is freaking rad though; I love it.

Urgh, in my haste, I forgot to convert Bob the Hamster's in-game screenshot. I'll have to send the picture and maybe you can sneak it in. I'm still reading the issue, but I had a feeling there were gonna be screenshots missing in the rush, so I wanted to acknowledge the one I found now.

And all my italicies...so much time hunting for them...

Dang, the ever-ticking clock. Zombie

I'll add in the Bob screenshot later on if you send it to me. It should be the only one missing, but it's hard to say, I was rushing pretty hard. I always like to have titles italicized, but I didn't have time to go through and find them this time for the HH review.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you voted in the poll before 8:30 am today, 2/2, please revote. The previous poll did not include the House Heroes review and the votes received were lost when I put the new one up.

Glad you liked the cover, it took me forever to do it. This is definitely one of the most full issues we've had in a very long time.

The cover was awesome. Bob's reaction to nobody actually sending an eMail over the past month was also great (If I'd thought noone else was going to, I'd have sent one).

This is horrendously lovable.

A solid issue and Good Lord Meatballsub, nice job saving the show again!

I'm not really a big fan of the retrospectives on ancient (bad?) games, because I can't imagine that they're really relevant to many people (well, to me at the least Hurr

). But content is content I suppose!

I miss the presence of the tutorial/game-making-insight articles.

Altogether a nice job, guys!
Thank you for your hard work. Angel

I was actually surprised about the Hours review myself. I was expecting to play the game and love it, just like I used to back in the day. I couldn't lie though, the game is not very great. I suppose I just had different tastes back then.

Machine Saga is just something I stumbled upon last month and decided to review it. I wasn't sure whether it would be win or suck.

I love reviewing for the magazine. It gives me something to do during breaks of working on games and other stuff. The only problem is that I'm not a great writer, but I guess my points can be recognized in my writings regardless.
